People of Reddit who are in recovery, what was your rock bottom?

The thing with rock bottom is you never realize until it happens but you can always go lower.

I guess what I see as my rock bottom would be when I was living under and overpass eating wild rabbit, caught by a crazy man using bin lids, cooked over a fire in an oil barrel fueled by random rubbish and tires.

I got arrested for trying to break into the back of a parked tractor trailer. It was empty. I don't remember any of it. I only remember waking up in the back of a car with my hands cuffed behind my back. I sit up and remember thinking I was being abducted. I ask the guy driving the car something along the lines of "Are you abducting me? You should probably know my parent's aren't wealthy and you won't get much of a ransom for me so..." Then the guy laughs and says "nope, I'm a cop and I arrested you. We're going down to the station now." We get to the station where I continue to entertain the police officers for a while. The cops called my parents and they came and picked me up. Luckily, I wasn't charged with anything since I didn't technically steal anything and I didn't cause any damage to the truck, plus the owner of the truck and the owners of the property it was parked on didn't really feel like pressing charges. Exactly 2 weeks later, there I am, drunk again, but this time I parked in front of somebody's house and passed out. I passed out with my head on the car horn, which woke up pretty much the whole neighborhood. All of a sudden, I remember being ripped from my car by a cop; the same cop that arrested me 2 weeks earlier. He wasn't amused this time. I was charged with 2 counts of public drunkenness and had to pay a fine of around four hundred dollars. Two weeks later I entered an in-patient rehabilitation facility and spent 30 days there. Ten years later I'm still off the booze and couldn't be happier. I'm very glad I didn't kill somebody while driving drunk. It was all luck.

Edit: The cop could have thrown the book at me, but he saw that I had no criminal record, no tickets, nothing at all, so he helped me out and didn't charge me with a DUI. I remember talking with him after I got sober and he said something along the lines of "you're a good person who was going through something terrible. I didn't want to see another young guy ruin his future again."
